  1. Belonging and Becoming - Finding Our Way Through Fear and Intuition

    4 DE NOV.

    Belonging and Becoming - Finding Our Way Through Fear and Intuition

    In this episode, we explore the delicate interplay between belonging and becoming, using my recent experience of starting a public Facebook group as a launching point for discussing how we navigate fear, intuition, and personal transformation. Key Topics: The relationship between fear and intuition in decision-making How early experiences of unworthiness can shape our life choices Different approaches to mindfulness practice and why gentleness matters The role of curiosity, compassion, and gentleness in personal transformation Core Concepts Discussed: Three Pillars of Mindfulness Practice: Curiosity - Gives the mind something constructive to do instead of creating stories about who we are Compassion - Opens our heart to the felt sense that we're all in this together Gentleness - Brings the whole practice together, allowing us to approach our experience without force Mindfulness as a Lens: Functions like "goggles" that allow us to simulate awareness before it becomes natural Defined as non-judgmental awareness of the present moment in service of self-knowledge Practical Applications: Using mindfulness in daily activities (driving, washing dishes, walking) Working with resistance and unworthiness Building a supportive community for personal growth Moving beyond the mind-identified sense of self Resources Mentioned: New Facebook Group: "Awaken Your Myth, A Journey to Belonging and Becoming" Main Takeaway: True belonging and becoming emerge not from pushing away our fears or trying to be perfect, but through bringing gentle curiosity and compassion to our present moment experience. This approach allows us to move beyond our conditioned patterns and connect with our authentic nature. Join our community at the Awaken Your Myth Facebook group for ongoing discussions about mindfulness, personal mythology, and the hero's journey. https://www.facebook.com/groups/awakenyourmyth
